Chapter 207: The Simple Father and Daughter
Entering the store, the depth of the store is quite large, a young woman is setting up an umbrella-shaped object, adjusting a strong lamp, aiming at a pair of young men and women sitting on a stool opposite, and the background of the young man and woman is a colorful park background painting, depicting a rockery, a park, a microwave lake, and a corner of a pleasure boat.
"Well, yes, that's it, lad, you put your arms around you!" the young woman fiddling with the umbrella commanded the young man and woman in their poses.
"Okay, smile, yes, don't move like that, I'm going to shoot!" said the young woman, who ran to the camera in the middle of the room, ready to shoot.
"Read it to me, eggplant ~zi~!" Li Liang stepped into the door of the store, just in time to see this scene, and shouted to the pair of young men and women sitting in front of him with a smile.
"Hey, children, don't make trouble!" At this time, an elderly middle-aged man who was fiddling with photos by the window spoke up, signaling Li Liang not to make trouble.
"I didn't make trouble, uncle, look, I read eggplant, do you smile?" Li Liang said with a smile.
The young woman who was about to take pictures of young men and women also turned her head to look at Li Liang, just in time to see Li Liang say eggplant again.
She also simulated 'eggplant' herself!
It's really smiling.
She couldn't help but boast: "Little brother, what's your name, who taught you to call 'eggplant' when taking pictures?"
"I figured it out myself!" Li Liang said nonsense.
The pair of young men and women who were waiting to take pictures really seemed to smile when they saw Li Liang simulating eggplant, and the two people who were sitting in danger for fear of taking bad photos also imitated it.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the store was cheerful.
Only Li Hao and they were not surprised at all, Li Hao said with a smile: "My good brother is amazing, this is nothing!"
Yesterday they took pictures at the beach, and Li Liang taught everyone to shout eggplants when taking pictures, so that they could always take satisfactory photos with a smile.
When the young woman had taken a picture of the young man and woman, she put away her camera, collected the money, and told the young man to leave: "You can come back in a week to get the picture!"
"Okay!"
"Sister, how can it take so long to take a photo?" Li Liang asked a little surprised.
"That's right!" explained the young woman, "we can take dozens of pictures on a roll of film in our camera, and we have to wait until we run out of film to take them out and wash them together." Otherwise, if you take one and wash one sheet, the film will be wasted!"
It turned out that this was the case, and Li Liang understood.
At this time, the middle-aged man who was fiddling with the sample photos in the window just now was also busy, and he pointed to the background of the pair of young men and women who had just taken pictures and asked, "Do you want to take pictures? What type of photos do you want to take, is it okay to have such a background?"
"Uncle, we're not here to take pictures, we're here to wash them!" Li Meng explained.
"Oh, wash the photos, did you bring your own film?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Bring it!" said Li Meng, who took out two sealed rolls of film from her handbag.
"Wow, that's so much!" the young woman took the film in Li Meng's hand and said in surprise, "This is Kodak's latest color film, and the effect of taking pictures is very good." We've only recently had a few rolls of these films in our shop!"
"How many are you going to wash, are you going to wash them all?" asked the young woman.
"Well, there are a total of 64 photos in here, please help us wash them all out, two copies of each!" Li Meng said.
"Do you want to wash so much, and what specifications do you wash?" the middle-aged man asked with a little surprise.
"How big do you usually wash?" asked Li Meng.
"Family photos are usually washed five or seven inches, personal photos are mostly five inches, and ID photos are generally one or two inches!" said the young woman skillfully.
"How big is a five-inch one?" asked Li Meng.
"It's about 12 centimeters long and about 8 centimeters wide!, it's that big!" the young woman said, and took out a five-inch photo from the photos that others had washed and gestured to Li Meng.
"Then let's wash the five-inch one!" Li Meng said.
"Okay, there are 64 photos in total, each of which is 128 in two copies. The charge for a single five-inch photo in our store is five dimes, and if you wash so much, I'll give you a dime cheaper, and I'll charge you four cents each!" the middle-aged man chimed in.
"Can it be cheaper?" asked Li Liang.
"No, that's already the lowest price. The man shook his head.
"Okay, uncle, can you wash it tomorrow morning?" asked Li Liang.
"Why are you in such a hurry tomorrow morning?" asked the young woman, who had been working in the photo studio for a year or two, and that it usually took about a week for everyone to come to the store to take pictures and understand the rules of the store.
"Yes, we are going to take the car back to Hekang County in the Gangshan area tomorrow morning, if it is too late, it may be too late to catch the car!" Li Liang said.
"Well, well, then we'll work overtime tonight for you to wash it out first. It's good that you have two full rolls of film, so you don't have to wait for others to run out of film!"
If you have to wait for someone else to take a picture and run out of film before you can develop the photo, you will have to wait a long time.
"Thank you, uncle, this is 52 yuan, no need to look for it!" Li Liang quickly calculated in his heart the price needed to wash 128 photos, a total of 51.2 yuan. Li Liang took out five ten-yuan pieces of unity from his clothes pocket and added two more yuan.
"No, no, little brother, your parents' money is also hard-earned, don't spend it indiscriminately!" The young woman collected the money, issued a receipt to Li Liang, and retrieved the eight cents of change to Li Liang.
"Thank you, sister!"
"You're welcome, come early tomorrow, and my dad and I will work overtime to wash you out tonight!" the young woman admonished.
It turned out that this was a father and daughter, but Li Liang was a little curious, when the eldest sister of the hostel introduced this store, she clearly said that this store was a state-run photo studio, why did the father and daughter work in the store.
So Li Liang asked in a curious tone: "Uncle, sister, aren't you a state-run photo studio, why do you father and daughter work in the same store?"
"Oh, well, I'm here to help my dad in the store. I just returned to the city from the countryside in Guizhou Province last year, and I have no job for the time being. My dad's photo studio is state-run, and the business in the store is good, so I can't get busy, so I'll come to the store to help my dad!" said the young woman a little embarrassed.
"Oh, sister, I see that you are very skillful in taking pictures just now, why don't you open a photo studio by yourself?" Li Meng also asked curiously on the side.
"The equipment in the photo studio is expensive, and my dad gets a dead salary in the store, and the money he earns has to be handed over to the unit every day. The family doesn't have that much money to buy me equipment!" the young woman explained.
